The band returned from an eight year hiatus in 2004 with the release of 'Take Fountain'. This long awaited album brought them back into the spotlight with all the style and sophistication associated with a legendary group, but fans were also pleased to see the band had lost none of the growling angst with which they had burst onto the scene with their 1985 debut, 'George Best'.
That intensity has been turned up even further for the new album, 'El Rey', The Wedding Present’s first collaboration with the legendary Albini since the renowned 'Seamonsters' in 1991.
Written while David Gedge was living in Los Angeles, 'El Rey' burns with West Coast sunlight; Hollywood seen through the eyes of a gritty Northerner.

Biographie:
The Wedding Present have had eighteen UK Top 40 hit singles… not bad for a band that has, from its inception, stubbornly refused to play the record industry's game. That was back in 1985 when David Lewis Gedge boarded a National Express coach in London with 500 records packed into a pair of his mother's suitcases. In this fashion, the debut single Go Out And Get 'Em Boy! was collected from the pressing plant, delivered to the distribution company, and The Wedding Present was born. That pioneering spirit has been at the core of the band's philosophy ever since. From George Best, the first full-length release on their own Reception Records onwards, the band has charted an appealing, if often eccentric, course of its very own.
